#ZuperDayAtKidzania With Blogadda

Today's post is a guest post from my friend Riddhi Bhatt, who is a freelance writer and a full time mommy to two very cute kids.In today's times, when parents can only think of malls to take their kids during weekends, I always thought we should have a place which is for kids only. Of course you have gaming zones, but all you have there are games, and there's no learning for the kids. I randomly mentioned this thought of mine to my friend Riddhi and she shared her experience about Kidzania with me. I was pretty impressed. So I asked her to pen down a post about her experience at Kidzania for the sake of So-Saree Readers.Over to you Riddhi...Last
Sunday we headed to KidZania, an indoor theme park for families that empowers,
inspires and educates kids through real-life role-playing activities. Emulating
the workings of a real life, scaled to that for children, Kidzania brings in entertainment
within reality.

As my
children went about role-playing various different work profiles from Surgeon
to RJ, to Stylist to Construction Worker to Fire-Fighter, it was fun to see
them enthusiastic about spending and earning the KidZos, the KidZania form of
money.

With
over 50 activities to choose from, both my kids we running from one direction
to another and I was at a loss of what to do. Just then to save my day, a
member of the Blogadda team and a marketing representative from Kidzania helped
me with a nice schedule of activities that we could follow to enjoy and make
the most of our time in the park.

Off we
went from one activity to another, playing the role that was demanded sometimes
making money and sometimes making goodies to take back. Slowly I realized that
my children understood the concept of making money and ensuring they had enough
to spend on the next activity. I saw that when the stash was decreasing they
asked me to take them to those role play areas where they could make some money
before enjoying the next activity.

At every
activity kisoks there are Zupervisors who are hands on to help assist the
children, explain the activity to them and then finally help them enact it. The
staff members are polite and humble and understand children’s needs and put
their comfort and security before everything else.

After an
hour or so the children got the hang of it all and then they were off by
themselves. It was nice to see them being so independent and going to do
activities that they themselves wanted to do. It was kind of a personal
milestone for them to do the list of activities and earn a lot of KidZos. They
were slowly but steadily getting a hang of working together with others,
completing assigned tasks and think creatively.

As the
day grew sunnier, they had more or less completed all the activities and we were
all ready to call it a day. I saw a significant change in my boys. From the
ones who had walked into the park holding my hand to the boys who strode out
confidently wanting to buy me a gift with the KidZos they had earned.

My boys
grew up in a matter of hours.
